Today I have carried out a very easy repair - wouldn't have thought so at first but, it sure surprised me. I had a small nick in the rubber CV boot on the passenger front driveshaft, grease was escaping so I knew it would be an MOT fail. Faced with having to undo the high torque nut and...

What's easier or quicker about that? Lift out filter, push in vortex unit - just as you would the filter and, .... it doesn't have to be done again, ever Simplez

Can depend on what you are used to. Landrover have "softer" brakes so that driving in slippery conditions is smoother with no sudden actions. If I drive the GF's sporty car, I nearly headbutt the dash everytime I so much as slightly touch the brakes - which I find dangerous on a wet road as...

Duff Injector First try a load of good injctor cleaner through it - such as Millers If that don't improve things in a month... .... check yer bank balance

So, you bought a car with an unkown service history, and.... .... then drove it around for 5 months and through the worst Winter on record without servicing it yourself. Especially the V6 :cool: First thing I do with a new vehicle is carry out a full service - unless the seller is a dealer...

That'll be your Traction Control as one rear wheel hits air coming off the bump. It briefly locks up that wheel. Mine does it off a kerb - and the TC light flashes up briefly.

They are in the Land Rover Accessories section of For Sale as 215/65 16 tyres Ideally do all 3 at the same time, but willing to seperate

I have just put these in the for sale section, 215/65 16" Michelin Synchrone Tyres Originally I offered up 5 alloy wheels with tyres on, but I'm now gonna put all new tyres on so I'm gonna take these off and sell the good ones as these are hard to come by, for anyone who needs the odd one or...

Holy Moly - £100 or a Cam Sensor - mine was £35 all in when I did it !!

That's why I asked if you were gonna do it yourself. Glad you got sorted - when it goes it sounds like a lot worse problem.

The £18 + VAT kit includes the seals. I know I bought one. took me all of 2 minutes to clean the top and push the vortex unit in £20 still buys a few beers or even a splash of diesel.

Get the BMW seperator from a BMW dealer - £22 a quick search:- http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/td4-crankcase-breather-depression-limiter-valve-120503.html do the same for Synergy 2, don't go messing with the ECU

I can't understand why you didn't just do the BMW vortex conversion instead of the filter, and fit an EGR bypass pipe. Would save you doing those jobs again.

I've never driven mine to North Wales ;)

As per manual and all advice on here - NEW tyres go on REAR first

Given the noise plus the white smoke, I'd say your Turbo just gave out

Are you gonna fit it yerself?

If I remember correctly pop the lens covers of with a small flat bladed screwdriver and then there are 2 screws holding the unit to the roof

This guy is doing what you want to do - all itemised in a current thread He's so enthusiastic he'll probably give a full pictorial bolt by bolt guide:- http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/somethings-not-right-133100.html
